[Resolved] How can I save items in my JList?

I recently started programming classes, and I believe i've grasped the basics
of JAVA. However, i haven't learned anything about saving data yet and I'd
appreciate if someone could help me out with this.

I'm currently working on an application I'm making for practice that keeps track
of shows that i watch. It has a JList that stores custom objects i made.

However, whenever I close my program, all the items I've added in my JList
disappear. What I would like is that each time I close the program, it saves
the items I have added/removed, and when the program is opened, it loads
up with the previous save.

There are several ways. If your JList uses a DefaultListModel, this is serializable, and you can read it and write it simply to a file as you would any other serializable object (the Sun tutorials will show you how). Otherwise you can read and write the items in the model into and out of a text file by again using the model. Again the Sun IO tutorials can show you the details on how to read and write to files.
